Terme Achilliane, Ancient Roman thermal baths in Piazza del Duomo, Italy.

The thermal complex includes a main chamber with a ceiling supported by four square pillars and three arched entries leading to parallel water basins.

The thermal baths, constructed around the 4th century AD during Emperor Constantine I's reign, were later integrated into the Cathedral of Sant'Agata in the 11th century.

The name originates from an inscription on Lunense marble from the 5th century, now exhibited at the Civic Museum in Castello Ursino.

Visitors enter through a barrel-vaulted corridor between the cathedral foundations, accessing the site via a descending ramp to the right of the facade.

The Tepidarium contains an advanced heating system with air channels and a two-ramp staircase that connected to the upper level of the baths.
